Milford Presbyterian Church Sermons

Sermon from Sunday, February 14, 2021. Enigma (Part 6). Mark 11:12-17. Pastor Bryant Anderson preaching. In a very familiar episode of the gospel story, Jesus overturns the tables of money changers in the temple. But just before he does this, he does a strange thing we’re not so familiar with: he curses a fig tree because he’s hungry and it has no fruit to offer him. This bizarre scene may look like a small tantrum, but in reality it is a symbol meant to help us understand Jesus’ more dramatic action in the temple.
